Accelerated concrete performance

Production efficiency

Early strength development

Manufacturing optimisation

Key Benefits of Chryso®Xel:

  • Faster production cycles: Helps manufacturers improve productivity and optimise operational efficiency.
  • Enhanced early age performance: Supports earlier development of concrete properties during production.
  • Improved mould utilisation: Helps maximise production capacity by supporting faster turnaround of moulds and equipment.
  • Greater manufacturing flexibility: Assists producers in meeting demanding production schedules and delivery requirements.
  • Consistent concrete quality: Supports reliable concrete performance throughout the manufacturing process.
  • Suitable for diverse concrete applications: Can support a variety of production environments where efficiency is a priority.

Chryso®Xel is suited to concrete manufacturers seeking greater efficiency, productivity, and process control throughout production.

Efficient production is critical within precast environments. Accelerated concrete performance can support improved mould turnaround and manufacturing output.

Suitable for the manufacture of concrete products where production speed and consistent quality are important operational considerations.

Supports manufacturers working to demanding production schedules by helping optimise concrete performance during the early stages of curing.

Where project programmes depend on efficient production and delivery, accelerated concrete performance can help support operational requirements.

Chryso®Xel brings together technologies designed to support more efficient concrete production. By helping manufacturers optimise early concrete performance and improve production turnaround, the range supports productivity across a wide variety of concrete applications.

Products

Chryso®Xel 650

Chloride-free accelerating admixture for concrete that reduces set time, improves early strength, and performs well in low temperatures.

Chryso®Xel Time 68

Chryso® Xel Time 68 is a chloride-free set accelerating admixture designed to speed up the setting and hardening of concrete. It acts as a catalyst during the early stages of cement hydration, particularly in low-temperature conditions where reaction rates are reduced. By accelerating the initial hydration process, the product reduces setting time and significantly increases early-age strength development. This makes it particularly effective in cold weather concreting, where it helps minimise delays and reduces the risk of frost-related damage to fresh concrete. Chryso® Xel Time 68 is suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including ready-mix, precast, and prestressed concrete. It is compatible with all types of cement, including mixes containing fly ash or ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS), allowing flexibility across different mix designs.
